Note:V.1. Why can't a woman suceed like a man? "When it comes to corner office clout, women overall have not succeeded in the workplace to the degree that men have. In an effort to come to grips with that accessment, this program seeks to shed light on what is seen less as a glass ceiling and more as a glass maze. The central issue is whether women can, should or even desire to "have it all" by pursuing a career and raising a family. Drawing on hard science, social science, and pop science, the program considers the realities of gender inequality from a variety of angles". -- V.2. Why can't a woman earn as much as a man? "In terms of lifetime earning power, most women earn far less than their male colleagues do. What lies at the root of the pay gap? The answer is neither simple nor definitive, as this program reveals. Research into unfair labour practices, double standards, gender stereotyping and brain psychology leads hosts Sophie Raworth and Justin Rowlatt -- each a parent with young daughters--on a not-so-merry chase to see what the future may hold for their children". --from container
